OPERA HOUSE—TO-NIGHT. “THE WHITE" FLOWER. ’’ An added attraction will be afforded picture-goers to-night at, the Opera House, when the ilawera Hawaiian Steel Guitar Orchestra will make their nrst. appearance on the Ilawera stam? in conjunction with Betty Compson in ‘ ‘ The White Flower. ” The playing of the orchestra may be likened to the tones of several great harps. An entlancing story of the Hawaiian Islands is “The White Flower.” Miss Compson plays the part of a young half American, JiaJf Ilawaiauit girl, who is in love with a young American, the pineapple king of the island. Many •lie the plans which Miss Compson forms for winning this young fellow’s love. In fac-t, she almost does awav uitli the fiancee by the aid of mysterious rites, so great is her love for him. She realises, however, what she ’is about to do, and at the critical moment her real womanhood asserts itself. The photography, ns well as the acting, in the production is excellent. The direction by Julia Crawford livers, who also wrote the story, is superb. One of the many noteworthy scenes in the picture is that showing the crater of the volcano Eilauea. The heart appeal is intense.
